Homw many CDO's are in mom and pop retirement funds?
Some of those CDO' s were rated AAA and are now junk.
Apparently some banks were trying to unload CDO's to retirement funds.

Retirement funds obviously cannot hold junk rated products, so what are they doing now, selling out?
Some bank having to write of a few billion is a mere statistic but when mom and pops retirement fund has to write of serious amounts of money the reactions will be quite different.
